When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Read the operating instructions carefully and
comply with them. It is important to consult these
instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the
unit, its proper use and safety regulations.
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times.
If you give the equipment to any other person,
hand over these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions.
1. General safety regulations

3. Proper use
The machine is designed for digging soil (for
example garden beds). Be sure to observe the
restrictions in the safety instructions.
4. Proper operation
Power supply
The machine can be connected to any light socket-
outlet (with 230 Volt alternating current). However,
the socket outlet must have an earthing contact
protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a
residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with
max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
The total length of the power cable should not
exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will
reduce the power output of the electric motor. The
power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm

. The insulating sheath of such machines is
frequently damaged. Some of the causes for this are:
-
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
-
Kinking caused by improper fastening or
guidance of the power cable
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake! Cables, plugs and
socket couplers must meet the following
requirements listed below. Power cables used to
connect machines must have a rubber insulation
sheath.
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of
type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only
purchase power cables that are marked! Plugs and
socket couplers for the power cables must be made
from rubber and splash-proof. There is a limit to how
long power cables can be. Longer power cables
require larger conductor cross-sections. Power
cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.
The machine is intended for private use i.e. for use in
home and gardening environments.
The operating instructions as supplied by the
manufacturer must be kept and referred to in order to
ensure that the machine is properly used and
maintained. The instructions contain valuable
information on operating, maintenance and servicing
conditions.
For safety reasons, the machine may not be used as
a drive unit for other work tools or tool sets of any
kind.
